ecutor claimed there were no parts of days in
law, and that conviction on either sale
would be a bar to further prosecution
for any sale on that day. Judge Irwin
so ruled, and conviction was had. The case
is now reversed by the Supreme Court. Pos
sibly, the argument will be made that the re-
versal gives the State the right to prosecute
for each and every sale on any interdicted day;
but the effect of the decision is to confuse
evidence, and to put it in the power of the
white-aproned criminals to defeat,prosecution
The more sales they can make the harder will
a conviction be. The liquor men understand
the force Of the decision, and there is great
glee over it in the saloons of the law-breakers
Once more we take occasion to remark that
the liquor men and their allies are simply
treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath.
The people of this country and of this State,
determined that the liquor business shall
be restrained by law, and if they keep on with
their defiance and are backed up by courts,
the people will wipe out both saloons and
courts as with a Bosom. The warning is
given without charge, and can be needed by
liquor men and judges as they please; but it
is the Gods truth about the whole business.

THE Democratic party to-day is destroying
republican government in the South, degrad-
ing popular suffrage and by violence and
fraud are establishing and maintaining an oil
garchy in several States of the Union. In this
condition of affairs the President tries to make
the people believe that their liberties are en-
aangered by the surplus in the treasury and
that the salvation of the country depends on
the adoption of free trade The Republican
party will stay right with him on that issue
but it will not loose sight of the other.

earnestness and fervor that he was very glad to
see him. whereupon the crowd of delegates
broke out into laughter.

THE "DARk" CONTINENT.

Henry Stanley Tells How It Has Been
More "Darkcned" by the Advent Of
Civilization and Rum.
During his recent visit to America,
Henry M. Stanley placed himself
on record with regard to the use of
alcoholic stimulants among those who
undergo the hardships and exposure
which accompany the work of explor-
ing new country. Mr.. Stanley's
African experiences make him compe-
tent to speak with authority, and in an
interview published in the Voice, of
this city, he declares very decidedly
against the use of gin and other liquors
as practiced by the old traders and
travellers in the Dark Continent. He
says: 1.-The very atmosphere seems hos
tile to the physique of the men who
pin their faith on whisky, rum and
brandy. Such men invariably sue
cumb." There has existed a general
impression among Europeans that
alcohol in some form must be used to
ward off the attacks of fever and ma
laria that are chief among the dangers
encountered in travelling through Af-
rican swamps and deserts. Mr.. STAN
ley declares that such use only aggra-
Yates disease and hastens death.
Upon the natives the results of asso-
citation and contact with the liquor
using whites have been deplorably ap-
parent. On the west coast, which has
been longer known than the east and
south, intemperance has existed to an
extent that has greatly retarded the
civilization and advancement of the
people. Gin is the favorite liquor in
that part of the continent, and in some
places it is the substitute for money,
being supplied by traders to the natives
in exchange for their commodities.
The physical excellence of the people
enables them to indulge to excess for
long time without breaking down.
They learn to love the liquor before it
has injured them sufficiently to warn
against continuing its use. The evil
has as yet been confined almost entire
ly to the coast region, where it has
greatly hindered missionary work.
In the interior it is as yet unknown,
simply because the white man has not
yet penetrated so that he can conduct
regular commerce. When he does
reach there, it is all too apparent that
he will take the odious traffic in alchol
along. 1t is too profitable to be given
up for so trifling a reason as the moral
and physical safety and health of these
savage people! What a reflection on
the civilization and humanity of the
Caucasian race! The governments of
those European nations that are assum-
ing control of these new African col
onies, might greatly hinder the per-
nicious business, if they were so dis
posed. Mr.. Stanley's testimony is q
strong argument for their so doing. 1t
would be comparatively easy to keep
the whisky and GIN trade out of these
countries as yet uncontaminated by its
presence.-N. Y. Witness.

camille pursuits, and later he became school
teacher. In 1S42 he was admitted to the bar at
the age Of twenty-one. In 1S4S he removed to
Chillicothe. While awaiting professional en-
ployment Judge Stafford devoted his time to
literary pursuits, and in the year 1850 he wrote
and published brief biography Of Herman
Blennerhassett which, in the year 1861, was en-
largcd by the addition Of much new matter and
its title changed to that Of the Blennerhassett
Papers," The information contained in this
important work was freely drawn upon by the
late DR.. Parton in his second edition Of the
"Life Of Aaron Burr" and he has given Mr..
Stafford credit for his researches.
In the fall Of 1857 Judge Stafford was elected Q
Senator from the counties of Ross and High
land. In 1850 he was nominated by the Ohio
Democrats for Lieutenant Governor, on the
ticket with Hon. Rufus p. Ranney. The ticket
was not successful. In 1868 Mr.. Stafford was
elected Judge Of the Court Of Common Pleas
for the Fifth Judicial District Of Ohio, and fill
ed the office with credit to himself and salts
faction to those who had legal relations with
him, till 1874, when he declined q denomination.
He has resumed the practice of law, but still
takes time to do some literary work. He now
has in preparation an interesting series Of pa
pers on 1.-The Domestic Life OF Aaron Burr" as
illustrated in the correspondence and journals
OF himself wife and daughter. These mono
graphs will be furnished to some of the maya
zines under the general title Of "Theadosia,"
and they will throw some fresh light upon the
